The Gravitational Waves Discovery Data

Abstract:

On February 11th 2016 LIGO-Virgo collaboration gave the announce of the discovery of Gravitational Waves, just 100 years after the Einstein’s paper on their prediction. The LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) and the Virgo Collaboration prepared a web page to inform the broader community about a confirmed astrophysical event observed by the gravitational-wave detectors, and to make the data around that time available for others to analyze

Instructions:

These data sets contain 32 secs of data sampled at 4096Hz an 16384Hz around the GW event detected on 14/09/2015.
